+ndn-cpp:  A Named Data Networking client library for C++ and C
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ndn-cpp is a new implementation of a Named Data Networking client library written in C++ and C.  
+It is wire format compatible with NDNx.
+	
+ndn-cpp is open source under a license described in the file COPYING.  While the license
+does not require it, we really would appreciate it if others would share their
+contributions to the library if they are willing to do so under the same license. 
+
+See the file INSTALL for build and install instructions.
+
+Please ubmit any bugs or issues to the ndn-cpp issue tracker:
+http://redmine.named-data.net/projects/ndn-cpp/issues
+
+---
+	
+The library currently requires a remote NDN daemon, and has been tested with ndnd, from
+the NDNx package: https://github.com/named-data/ndnx .
+
+Currently, the library has two APIs for developers: 
+
+	1. The C++ API which follows the NDN Common Client Library API also used by ndn-js (JavaScript)
+     and PyNDN (Python).
+
+	2. A core C library implementing lower-level encoding and communication.  Applications should normally
+     use the C++ API, but core C code will also function on embedded devices and other environments 
+     which don't have C++ support.
